Worth trying:

Go to a Verizon store and ask them to add a phone to your account long enough to get the text and activate your account, make sure they take the phone off of your account.

There are fees attached to activation, but losing a Xoom sale might be worth them waving it for you.
[Xoom General] smilepak:
Anyone figured out how to activate it online?
[Xoom General] bullitt6996:
If you get one over the weekend, the activation is waived... That's as of now, but don't know for how long. If you call about the text, they will remove it, and setup/activation instructions should've come with it if you got it from Verizon. If you got it elsewhere, you're best off goin to a local store than dealing with CS over the phone, as it gives you an opprotunity to talk to a human being about data packages and any other services you want/don't want.

**Also, to save on your data, set the xoom to connect to wifi automatically and I downloaded an "airplane mode" widget from the market to keep data off when I don't want my xoom on my 3g misbehavin and using data. Good luck and enjoy your gadget.
[Nook Color General] djlim4:
Hello, just picked up my NC. Messed around a little bit, got it to root fine, running Froyo off my SD. Want to get CM7, was thinking of going the phiremod route.

I'm a little bit confused with the CW version and ext4 compatibility. I'm just a little worried cuz I ended up in a CW boot loop when i tried flashing Froyo to internal mem. But I think its cuz i had flashed the old recovery? Anyway, got back to stock and upgraded/re-rooted.

So can i just go from Rooted 1.1 to burning a bootable clockwork 3.0.1 on to my SD card? Then flash a ROM and Gapps?

The bootable SD card thread says something about the partition needing to be ext4, which is what's freaking me out. Is there a kernel to flash before? am i skipping an entire step here?

Thanks for any feedback
[Nook Color General] sorheim:
Thats what I did and it worked perfectly. Phiremod has gapps and market built in.

Hi,

I found this post a very useful and detailed description of installing CM7 on internal

memory:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11535969&postcount=151

It includes the steps for formatting required for CM7.

Don't forget that you will need a uSD for 'data' after as well as the one for installing.

Hope this helps!

[Captivate General] commander2k:
Does anyone have any experience/advice for this? I talked to one person who had a modded up captivate (like me) and they said it's still faster. With two 1ghz snapdragon (I think) and 1gb of ddr2 ram, it looks like a beast. And I could only imagine what its going to be like when more devs work their way over. I'm slightly wary because I love the organic LED screen and I had the backflip before the captivate, and motorola left a bad taste in my mouth from that... but this looks promising. Real life experience would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
There are at least 2 lengthy threads on this that can be found by doing a search.
[Captivate General] commander2k:
You're right. I searched but I suppose I didn't go far back enough.
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
I have an atrix, it's sitting on top of the fridge waiting to go back to att. I'm back to using my captivate. Imo it's still the best phone that att has out right now.

Just my 2 cents. If you can wait for something else do it. The atrix is too buggy. I had to do battery pulls daily to unfreeze it. Also had to do 3 master resets in less than 2 weeks to make it run again.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] AlexR666:
I think there is a problem with my 3500 mah battery from sedio. I have had it for a few months now and it really wasnt what i expected. I had heard people who have had 2-3 days + battery life from one charge when i cant even get 24 hours on a single charge with out playing a game or using gps. Im running sky raiders 3.5 right now.

Is that bad? Should i try and get in contact with sedio? Any other tips.

Thanks in advance! :confused:

EDIT:

For example today:

13hrs since unplugged. 29%

awake 4.5 hours

That sucks right?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] SteveG12543:

[Droid Incredible Accessories] aweaver33:
There are all kinds of things you can do to extend your battery life but by far the simplest is to turn your screen down to quarter brightness and turn off the auto adjustment.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] b0gman:
You need to reset your battery.

Step 1

charge the phone while turned off till the light turns green. Unplug but do not turn on then after about twenty or so seconds plug it back in and the light will be Orange again wait till its green.

Step 2

Once the charge light is green for a second time boot the phone into cwm and clear battery status. Make sure phone is still plugged in

Step 3

After you clear the batter status reboot the phone making sure that you do not unplug it . as soon as you're able to open up your app drawer once the phone has rebooted then unplug it.

Step 4

Do not charge your phone again until the battery dies and the phone shuts off.

After this you are done
[Droid Incredible Accessories] kaze06:
For the longest time I was convinced the eBay-generic 3500mAH that came with the phone when I bought it online was faulty because it seemed I was getting identical results from my stock battery even after wiping battery stats. But now after running the battery for a week or so continuously and not swapping out to the stock battery it seems to yield much better life now that I calibrated the phone to this battery and left it in for a while.
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
Wondering if there was an app out there that would lock all setting and things to prevent someone else (little kids) from changing things around. Something that would allow all your apps to work, make phones call, use SMS, internet etc.. It wouldn't allow someone to move the widgets around are go into an app and change a setting etc... You know like a 3 year old stealing your phone off the table and start pressing all the buttons :D

Any such thing out there?
[HTC Inspire 4G] devonparrish:
If you use adw launcher there's an option to lock the desktop, you can't move anything around :D

[Epic 4G General] garr741:
I've searched long and hard but i still haven't found one. Is there a method, zip, file, or anything that you can flash using CW3 in order to return to a stock, non-rooted, Sprint accepted version of Android? (EB13, DI18, etc) Basically, just a way to return to stock without the use of Odin. If not, could one be created?
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
I think everything would work except for the modem because you have to be on a specific version of android.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parhelion69:
I'm soon getting a vibrant and since I've already seen an internationl galaxy s, I've gotten to like the way it handles contacts (swype left and right for sms, calling) and the widgets for social integration.

I've seen that most custom roms get rid of touchwiz, and I don't like the launcher since it looks iphonish (ugly :P ) but I wonder if custom roms keep the other stock stuff like the dialer, contacts, widgets, etc.

Could anyone clarify this for me please?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLikeAndroids:
Yup some of them do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
with some roms there is a app they include called bloater. Thats all the stock items removed but can be reinstalled.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Brutal:
I think 99%, if not 100% of the roms use the stock samsung dialer and contacts.

Then you're not losing much going to custom roms, going to try em as soon as I can.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
WTF???

Does anyone else use Go Launcher?

Everytime I setup all my widgets just right and get everything laid out, as soon as I reboot the phone it erases all my widgets. I just a full wipe and wiped everything multiple times. Then flashed protekk build #18 (because I had no issues with it before), then reinstall all apps through market, then setup my widgets and same issue....

I just got this phone as a replacement (old phone had power button issue), I haven't returned my other one yet. Is there a chance it is an issue with the phone? Never remember having this problem with the other phone...

It only erases my widgets, I have one app icon on my desktop and it loads that back up but nothing else...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
Sorry, I saw your reply but didn't respond to it.

I am using the theme chooser, but I never had this issue with my old phone.

I'll try going to stock theme and setting up widgets then reboot, that should tell me if its a theme issue correct?

edit: so that worked, it kept the widgets...

Kind of a bummer that it does that with Go Launcher.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
For anyone having this issue, just setup your Widgets and then in go launcher setting choose backup configuration. After that everything should be Honky dory.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tjr2011:
Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am having trouble booting back into windows mobile 7 after switching my phone off for the first time since install.

Having never done anything like this before I followed the instructions closely making sure I had the correct spl, hspl2, the correct magldr, radio etc.

7 was working perfectly. My problems only started when I realised I forgot to put my sd card in before install, following instructions I found on another thread it was suggested that I remove the battery insert sd card and turn phone back on etc. However I can’t turn the phone back on, the only thing I can do is hold down the volume key and the red button to get the red/green/blue/white – screen.

I can't get the MAGLDR screen to load, the only thing that happens when i hold the power button is a small vibration but nothing loads.

I can reflash magldr, but the phone still wont power on or load the magldr menu screen.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Have I bricked my phone?

Sorry for starting this thread again, but I am desperate after a week without my phone and would appreciate any help, thanks!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
a reflash should have fixed that issue, you need sd before installing but on the positive side at least wp7 recognised your sd card ;) just need to see if its fully compatible, a hard reset would have worked as well with hspl and magldr installed the chances of bricking your device are very very small unless you mess about with the wrong radio on a 1028MB TMOUS device, which is doubtful, outside of the USA
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perry_henis:
Hi all,

Just curious if any Bell users are experiencing the same battery performance as I am.

My phone is complete stock. The only change I've made is using launcher pro.

I leave for work on a full charge at 7am and by 5pm, I'm down to 30% after light to moderate use. By this I mean, sending 20-30 txt msgs, checking my email and twitter half a dozen times.

It seems like poor performance to me.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
your battery is bad because you have emails, calendar, weather, and news constantly syncing throughout the day. theres so many battery threads, do a search and and check out the developer forums and you will find out what you can do.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpeeDemon:
Try changing your browser settings on the phone to load plug-ins "on demand". This made a significant improvement for me. I went from 20-30% by 5pm to having 70+% by 5pm. I'm on day 2 of light useage and still at 50% (24+ hours so far)

If that doesn't fix it, charge that beast to full, unplug it, and do a factory reset. Then let it drain till she powers off.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfusion:
Do a full charge (8-10 hrs) up and full drain (use phone till it shuts off by itself) a couple of times and you should get amazing battery life. When doing the charging turn your phone off and just plug in the wall charger.

When the battery has finished charging do a factory reset once (don't need to do it every time you cycle battery).

I didn't do this initially and my phone had like maybe 8-9 hrs of battery life on the very first charge. After I did a couple of full cycles my phone would last me almost 2 days with moderate use. I have the Bell version of the phone as well.

I guess they just figured out nobody uses their voicemail b/c it blows goats. I think sprint may be getting a bit smarter, going with the current rather than paddling upstream and pissing off their loyal base.

If they were really smart they'd be hiring dev's from sites like this and then they'd really be hip.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
At the moment I've got about ten ROMs and at least 2 dozen mods and kernels for those ROMs. Some work really well, some just get funky over time, and others just explode as soon as I flash a mod to them. HeyItsLou ROMs like the one you have are very solid work.

Here's the thing though... you don't have to go in and rename every new ROM you flash to update.zip. you can go to "install .zip from SDcard", then go to whatever folder the ROM is in. It makes it much easier to keep track of your ROMs, kernels, and mods. It works exactly the same, you just have to tell it where to look instead of letting it assume it on the SDcard root.

Also, if you look on the SDcard, you'll find a folder with all of Lou's kernels. His come with number 4, but 8 is probably faster. It's just as easy to flash as a ROM.

Thinking about it, it takes flashing the actual ROM, then flashing 7 additional .zips to get mine where I like it. So you can see where having to rename every update becomes almost impossible. You'll get the hang of it and get more comfy. These things really are hard to brick if you're using ROMs and mods that are decently built. Just nandroid backup (I do it twice if I have none already) and keep a spare ROM on the SD and you'll be totally fine.

What I love about it is the battery life, I'm always wondering how people pull off these ridiculous numbers, but I can get 30 hours of light usage with the clocking governor on conservative. It also has a bunch of awesome cyanogenmod settings specifically. These are awesome, I have gestures on my unlock screen to turn on torch and go to spring pad and such. It's fairly fast and smooth. I ran MIUI for months and loved it but it eventually started acting up and slowing down and I missed the android look. The only thing that takes trouble to work every time is gps.
